Tito Ortiz: Ronda Rousey Will Always Be No. 2 To Cyborg

“They pushed this fight of her and Ronda at 135 so much. The last time I saw Ronda call out Cris Cyborg, Ronda was actually at 145. So she cut down to 135 to stay avoid Cris. Now the ball is in their court – if they want the fight to happen, they will let the fight happen. If not I guess Ronda is the number two pound-for-pound woman always and Cris will be number one. Nobody is going to beat {Cyborg} ever. She is going to do an Anderson Silva and go undefeated for a long, long time. I think her head is getting to her. I watched a couple episodes and she seems like a little brat, likes she’s too good for everybody else. That’s the attitude you don’t want, especially as a coach. People see me on The Ultimate Fighter season three, season eleven, I never thought I was better than anybody else.”

“Is the popularity getting to Ronda’s head a little too much? She hasn’t had any huge fights, she hasn’t fought any huge names yet. I guess its one of those things that, in time, she needs to be tested. She’s being protected by the UFC and if she keeps being protected she will always be known as second-best. I haven’t seen any great stand-up skills. I have seen her closing the gap and taking a girl down and arm-barring her. I don’t think she even knows any moves other than an armbar.”

Former UFC light-heavyweight champion, Tito Ortiz, tells Fighters Only that Ronda Rousey will never be as great as Cris Cyborg.

Yeah, She will always be #2 to Cyborg…..in testosterone levels. Rousey fights in the UFC, Cyborg fights in an all womens MMA org that hardly anyone knows about. Rousey makes hundreds of thousands of dollars per fight, Cyborg might make 50 grand on a fight. I would take being number two to that. Also, Rousey has never been busted for controlled substances either. Keep talking, Tito, you just look dumber every time you speak.

Who cares if cyborg got busted for steroids! She paid the price with the suspension and the damage she’s doing to her body. Ronda should fight her and shut her up if she can. Look at overeem when he’s off his juice. I still don’t think Ronda can beat guyborg. Tito is right about her striking

People who focus on Cyborg’s one mistake must be perfect and have never done anything they need to pay the price for… Forrest Griffin, Vitor Belfort, Chael Sonnen, Alistar Overeem, Jake Sheilds, and the list goes on and on and on all test positive at some point. Why aren’t any of these people still being talked abt for their mistakes? Bottom line is Rousey is not a accomplished MMA fighter, and Cyborg is very much so. Rhonda will have no shot if they fight. That is why they won’t fight. Being in different promotions is not a big deal. If they UFC wants it to happen it will happen. The problem is Rhonda Rousey wants no part of Cyborg!
